ALASTAIR'S 6TH BIRDTHDAY CAKE CONSTRUCTION

Alastair is 6 years old tomorrow.  Mairi and the children came over for morning coffee (in theory) and we decorated a cake* that I had made earlier.


Here is Mommy and her little 'helpers'.


I made a birthday card for Alastair using a snail image I found on the internet.  This snail is on a scooter which is what Alastair is getting for his birthday tomorrow.


And here is the  snail cake* complete with chocolate buttons, lime or should that be 'slime' greeen marshmallows and ice cream sugar crystals from the local Italian ice-cream cafe.






Oh boy!   Is this what one might call 'All Hands on Deck'  ?!!!


* The recipe I use is  my mother's and is nothing like hers, i.e. mine is OK in texture but pale brown instead of deep chocolatey brown and tastes mostly of sugar.
